Question: How much is this crock worth? I found it in a family basement. It does have a hairline and a band of stuff around the center. There is a back stamp Red Wing Stoneware toward the bottom of it.

Answer: This is a hard 20 gallon Red Wing signed salt glazed leaf crock to value.   I don’t know what this band of stuff is that goes around the crock.  If it cannot be removed, and with the hairline. the value will be quite low.   $300 or less.  If  that band can be cleaned off of the crock the value will be around $1500.  Al Kohlman
